Directors of the California stem cell agency today approved a $5.6 million grant to bring a star researcher to California -- a Harvard<\/b> scientist currently collaborating with a director of the stem cell agency. <\/p>

The recipient is Zhigang He<\/a>, who is negotiating with UC Berkeley<\/b>, which also has a representative on the CIRM<\/b> board, one who did not vote on the grant or speak during the discussion.<\/p>

Responding to a query from the California Stem Cell Report<\/b>, the researcher later said, \"I am still talking to Berkeley about the details of my move.\"<\/p>

CIRM governing board Oswald Steward,<\/b> director of the Reeve-Irvine Research Center, Anatomy & Neurobiology<\/b> at the UC Irvine School of Medicine<\/b> , was also disqualified from voting or participating in the discussion. He left the room, saying that he has been \"directly collaborating with this person.\"<\/p>

The name of the Harvard researcher was not mentioned prior to the vote on the grant, although a member of the public, patient advocate Don Reed<\/b>, told directors he knew the applicant and recommended him highly.<\/p>

The grant is part of a $44 million recruitment effort by CIRM. It has awarded about $11 million to bring two researchers to California institutions, both of which have representatives on the CIRM board.<\/p>

(An earlier version of this item said Zhigang He \"is slated to go to work\" at UC Berkeley, based on comments at the CIRM board meeting.)<\/p>
